cows milk and vitamins

Haven't posted on here for a while but have a quick question regarding milk feeds....

Sophia was formula fed and I have just run out of the last can of formula so am going to move her on to cows milk. She still has 3 bottles a day and I have been giving her some cows milk as well as formula so know it will be fine. My question is do they need vitamins too?? My mum said when she moved me onto cows milk she used to have to put vitamin drops in it (that was nearly 30 years ago) but I don't know if/where I can get these??

My other quick question is how do you get a baby who will not even hold her own bottle (believe me I have tried) to drink from a cup?? I have given her a beaker with milk in in the past and she just stares at it and cries!!

u can ask ur hv/gp or pharmacist wher to get the baby vitamins, but if she's having a healthy diet she shldn't need anything extra as all the iron and vits she needs should be coming from her food at this age.

cup wise..have u shown her how to use a cup? first few time ds had a cup i had to give to him and out his hands on it and help him, also there are quite a few sippy cups out there that have a soft spout so its not as big a transition from bottle to sippy cup and then after a while switch to a plastic spout, and handles make it easier for lo
